Ihnuediately before he was thrown off, and while at his devotions on the ladder, some of the populace cried out " a pardon ! a pardon!" which, made hint start lip and i nc h annuli! hint; whereupon the Magistrates ordered him immediately to be tbli,wn over." THE INDIAN WARNIORS.—Ou Saturday, the American Indians, who have been performing for Some time in the Theatre here, were, at the re= quest of tl►e Royal Company of A'chers, obliging ly allowed by Mr. All/lIRAY to shoot With theft) at tl►e Company's Butts. The distaneei at which the Indiins are accustomed to shoot, are So much shortei' than the diStance practised by the Royal Company, that 110 just comparison could be formed of the merits of the shooters.— '1•h; party afterwards 'Went to the field, where the Royal Company 'flint at rovers, much to the asto nisionent of the Indians; who had Ito idea of the distance which proper bo►vs and arroWs can cdm n►aud. The accoutrements of the Indians are eZ tremely coat se and awkward; and only calculated for• short distances, where , they are used with great precision and effect. The Royal Company presented their visitors with some arrows and bow strings which highly pleased them'. At taking leave, their Chief returned thanks, by tire iaterl►retef•, fed- the civilities shown to then►, in a speeth of some length, in which he expressed the sorpriie of himself and his warriors at finding bi•other archers in Edinburgh, so familiar with the rise of the bows awl in particular, their surprise it the distance and accuracy of the field shooting.= In the evening, the Royal Company attended the Theatre in compliment to the Indians, who had a benefit on the occasion.—(Etthiburgh CU rant, Oct. 12.) DREADFUL EFFECTS .OF INTOXICATION..—On Sunday morning Was found dead in his bed-room, near the Commercial-roatf, Lambeth, IVILLIAM UARLE, who for upwards of ten years had been principal book-keeper in the bonne of Davy, Sawyer, and Co., Old Barge House Wharf. For about three weeks he isad indulged freely in his propensity to drinking ; sensible, at length, of the distress and ruin he Was bringing oh himself and family, and stung with remorse, in a paroxysm of despair, he put an end to his existence by pliscing a stick through his neck handkerchief and strangling himself. The character of this Math was eXtraor dinary-'—he possessed some excellent qualities; and as an accountant his abilities were equalled by few ; he was generally abstemious; yet such was his occasional propensity to drinking, that be would sometimes render himself incapable of bu siness for several clays. This degrading habit ha l s unfortunately brought Islip to an untimely end, and left four orphan children totally unprovided for.---Yesterday a Coroner's Inquest was held on the body ] and a verdict returne4-Insanity. THE THEATRES. -;•-• The Fashionable Lover,_ an amusing and nOt uninteresting production of the , late Mr. CUMEERLAND, though certainly not to be classed with his best dramatic Works, was re vived last night at this Theatre. It had ori ginally the support of BARRY, in Aubrey, and Mrs. BARRY, in AvuSta, with the assistance of other excellent Performers of the time. It was at least respectably si:pported last night, and instifieS the Managers in the merimrions principle which they seem to have adopted, of bringing forward old works of sterling merit ra ther than flimsy novelties. Miss Aubrey had a most interesting 'representative in Mrs. (VEST, now decidedly the Must simple and pathetic actress - on the tomfOn boardt.... 15ENootiOn's Mortinfer was marked by manly sense. The same may truly be said Of HENRY KEMBLE'II Tyrrelt. Mrs. flaatoi,VE kave,agood portrait of the vulgar city wife, and Arts. ORGER of her Un feeling, or rather envious and malicious daughter. 'fbe part of Dr. Druid is mere snrplusage, and ha's - itath4ig to do with the Pot; but was well sunported by GaTTltt. H. J'OnNsi.oli gave Colin M'Cliftia with charaCteristic truth, but 'the more accurate is the . pronunciation of those two cha racters, the more unintellig ible are they to the audience in general. Powt.t.'s Aubrey, like his perfO'rniatices in general, was judi cious and marked by feeling. The part of Lord Abbe'villt is so Contemptible, that his refor mation is hardly creditable"; it had a Spirited sup port from PEic;LEY. TheComedY was well received. In the farce of WSIYOuse anti I, in whiehllaitLE . t, OXEERiii, Mrs. iliatowa, and Mrs. HUGHES, appeared in witch advantage, a Mr. YA'ArroLD (~e wish he had changed this titicontli name) performed the part of NH, and, in singing as well as acting, he seems to be the best of the re cent Provincial importations.

AIUBRA? appeared, anti when the ap pliittie which attended his entrance concluded, de livCretl, as nearly as we can recollect, the follow ing Address:— LADIES A N D “ENTLEMElsl,—this evening' terminates the pl i nth season Ihat we have had the honotir of being employed in your service, and though it has not been a stitces§fnl one, yet be assured we are not the ,less gratefully oblitfed to those who, during its continuance, have deemed our efforts worthy the hnuotir of their patrontqte. I should not, Ladies and Gentlemen, farther occutoy vour time, were it not my duty to contradict the report that 'Arts. Henry Siddons had quitted this Theatre, and accepted the etigag l ementofieryd her in The rumour's unfounded. Mrs. Siddons's visit to England hai been rendered necess a ry by considerations connected with her:health, and as there are prospects of its re-establishment, I believe we may promise her resumption of her professional duties at this Theatte iii No vember next; by which Period many altefations will have been carried into effect, which, we hope, will ant only be consi dered as imprdrenients fn the internal_ appearatice of the Theatre, but as additions to the comforts of the audience. The house will he entirely repainted, and illuminated with gas, on time plan adopted in the Theatre Royal Covent-gartltn, and various spectacle's have been and are in active prepara tion, *herein the most celebrated artists of that The4tre have been employed. The Ivarindi alterations contemplated Will, we trust, lie completed by Saturday the 14th of November, until whet', Ladies and Gentlemen, we very respectfully take Our leavVe._ his Address *at frequently int e rrupted by the lou'd applauses of the audience, but when the in tended return of Mrs. HENRY SIDDONS was ati nounted; the rapturous HIM repeated tumults of approbation which - btirit forth, evinced, in the most eatifying Manner, the very high respect *entettained by the Edinburgh public for that Lady's talents. We regiet that the past season has not been successful, but have little doubt that the spirited exertions announced for the ensuing canipaigti, will amply compensate for the i'eveiies of the present. , SPORTING.

NOVA NCO I'LL The SUBSTANCE of a JUDGMENT delivered in the COURT of VICE-ADMIRALTY at HALIFAX. in Nova Scotia, on the 24th day of August, 1818, in the CASE of the Schooner NABBY, THOMAS STANDLEY, Master, by CItOFTON UNIACKE, Esq. Judge of that Court. [Continued from Zrierday's Sus.) I have given to this subject the most serionq , attention, and have considered fully the inge. niouS arguments which have been pressed upon the Court by his Majesty's Advocate-General; and I am perfectly satisfied, that I should not be justified iu Ott:Tiling rite powers which it 1t,4 been contended (kis Court possesSes. Did the • cause rest, therefore, entitely upon this ground, it would be my duty to direct it to stand over until farther instructions should be given by his Majesty's GovernMent but another point hits be en submitt e d to my consideraticin; tt loch may render such delay unnecessary, dud 1 shall prO. teed ro state the reasons which I deem onflicient to sOppoit the judgmeut about to be pionounced. The point now presented to the Court arises under the laws of 'trade and navigation, and it It contended, that thit Vessel, her appintenancet, and every thing laden on board of litr arc liable tai confiscation, for having illegally imported goods, wares, and nierchandize into ft port of this Pro. Alice, she being a vessel tint owned ali , l navigat. en as vessels are required to be, to entitle them tr) the privilege of trading with the Colotrie. Qu'e'stibus arising under the laws Made for the regulation cif tr4de and navigation arc not only clearly within the jtoisdiction of this Court, but require its ritinoSt attention ant; care, lest the ignotanCe or the arts Of commercial speculatorS. should interrupt the operation of ti 's . ystein trameti for the greatest natieiutil prirptises ; and which haS been found to realize the best hopes of tho,e enlightened Minds ny which it, was con ceived auel rnatiired. It would scent tinneeessitry fOr the, in . considetiog a question 'confined withiti die narrow hounds of a fetv clause's of an Act of 1 3 31 - liiment, to take an extensive view of the whole system ; but as the Court is iii , der the neceSsiti fsetliog the rules which are to gover n i t , i ts the constr uction of this particular Act, from an 'en larged conception of the general spit it of the whole systeni, it mu s t take a comprel ensiVe view of time great designs Tor which it was wisely con . . trived. Those leiWs took their 'rise in the profound and enlightened views WhiCh eitperiene : ,. had offered to the acute and reflecting mind, of the true basin on which might be erected the fabric of a great nation. And however that system may have beet' extended and improveti, by the various altera tions and additions which grew ont of new Leh lions and more cortiplicated 15,iblie interests, the saute spirit kV hicit is manitest io the provisions of the earliest laws may he traced through every sue. - - ceeding regulatiou. They rise to the contesopla lion of the linthan mind with a regulariti . lat once Clear and 'coMplicated and may be . conside'red beautiful Specimen of positive laW, in 'whicli the profound and coniPrehensi.e SpeCidations of political economy are admirably blended with thit useful and practical reghlations of mercantile ptriencii. The wisdoM of the 'policy which pro jected, and of the care which was constantly taken to render tliis System more perfect, wai `Very soon discovered in the beneficial conse quences Which resulted to the nation. It was "Soon found that those admirable iegulations Were adapted to strengthen and enrich the mother. country, while they gave a prrmanrncy of cha racter to her distant possessions, which !Mist bait) been entirely lost in the contusion of a loose and unrestrained cormberce. As this system advanced to that perfection in which we now find it, those nations whose int rests seem to have been Fleeted in the promotion of our own, did not tat 1 to discover what they affected to consider a narrow and ifliheral feeling, ineonsistent with. those dignified and generotiS sentiments which, should always govern the policy of oation , . But while Great Brit in increased in national, greatness, and commercial prosperity, she viewed the eti'Vy ami jealousy of other nati *ns merely a , l a pc; ertul confirmation of the wisdom of hei plan Those laczis fortti a code ‘ihibli it is the duty of thi s court to gutild troth the slightest - violation their importance c4onot be (tiny estitiiated, anti they, whose winds are too limited to trace the progieis of air national prosperity in the rigid execution of thew; niLlit be awakened to a si list of their by the rapid declioe of our great— ness, which would be the conseqnence of therc relaxation. In viewing the s itohject in this light, the first object that strikes the wind, is the great desi g n of couhning to hritish subjects, as far as it could piissibly be elT,•cted, the commerce of tha British Colonies. For this purpose no goods; Wares or merchandise can he imported into, or exported from, the Colonie's, unle,s in British- built vessels owned by Britishsubjects; and oa. tigated . by the mister and three-totirthi 01 the .•. crew subjects of Great tinder pain of for feiture of ship and goods. This part of the law is as clear as the plainest terms can make it ; huf were the Court to adopt a constrisction, which should be restrained to the very piecise meanin;;- of the words, the spirit of this law, as well as or the whole sys.em, would be violated. It it Should be said that the word imported means the *lewd lauding of goods, ward or Merchandise, and tha t no penalty could be inflicted except in a case where that fact was positively proved ; or, that it the owner could make out by the evidence of hith-. self and crek, that no articles were landed from the vessel; she ought tiecesatily to , lie reittired; it would follow that s foreign vessel might en— ter the hat - bouts of a Colony or Plantation out permission, tool remAill there until a suitable . _ occasion should offer to kittl her cargo. But construction would lie• 'evidently in ;iipOsition to the true Spirit and awaiting otiliis clause, out would render useless and UnaVAiliti g every iirovi siain Of the laws tit - tiade and navigation; which are cieaq fotinded the design to reserve the privilege s of trade to British subjects, and to ex clude tbrrigneri from participating therein. I catimit coneeive two ideas inure inconsistent with each other, than a law posi..ively decialing that
